A Collection of Poems: July 2025

O the chimneys
On the carefully planned dwellings of death
When Israel’s body rose dissolved in smoke

About Me

I live in Derbyshire, UK and have been an archaeologist, IT specialist, IT manager and project manager in my time. I am a Methodist Local Preacher and run a youth club at church, and I'm also a school governor; I also teach Sunday School.

I like to read and have a wide range of tastes. This blog on poetry is being built up as a collection of my personal favourites, whilst my other blog - mainly about social media - reflects part of my work interests.

I try to include poetry from a wide range of cultures and countries.
